126 product can separate the accepted coins into 4 ways and the 129
product 8 ways.
Operation
Coin validation parameters are factory programmed for optimum
acceptance of up to 14 coins and 2 tokens When a coin or token is
inserted the validator senses a range of parameters to see if it recognises
the coin/token as part of its pre-programmed set.
If variations are required to the programmed coin set please refer to the
CashFlow® 126 and 129 Operators Handbook for details.
NOTE: In the table below the features of the CF126 Token product are
shown separartely from the CF126. In reality this is one CF126 product,
but are shown here to indicate the availability of profile options,
particularly regarding dual and single coin entry.

PRODUCT OPERATION
Accepted Coins
If a coin or token is recognised by the validator the accept gate will then
be activated and the coin/token routed along the accept path to enter the
separator which consists of a number of solenoid operated gates to route
the coin/token to a pre-programmed exit.
The CashFlow® validator has the capability to sense the direction of a
coin. An alarm output will be given if a coin does not follow the correct
validation sequence.
Inhibited Coins
Acceptance of one or more coin types can be inhibited, causing them to
be rejected. This can be done by using the coin inhibit lines of the
validator machine interface connector 1 or by programming the validator
to reject specific coin types.
Rejected Coins
The validator will reject any coin/token that does not match
pre-programmed limits, or, if no power is supplied to the validator, the
accept gate will remain closed and the coin will be routed via the reject
route.
If a coin or token jams at the entry point, it can be freed by opening the
validator reject flap which releases the coin to the reject path. Side entry
mechanisms fitted to the front plates have an in built reject button that
opens the validator reject flap when pressed.
The host machine is required to provide a suitable mounting facility for
top entry versions.
Signals to and from the machine
Communication between the validator and the machine is made through
the validator machine interface and the Y-chute interface connector (dual
coin/token entry version only).
Once through the validator, the value of the accepted coin is signalled
directly to the machine using the appropriate coin output line (or lines in
BCO mode).
Multi-Pulse
Factory set option designed for backward compatibility gives a GB 50p
coin output (on a GB profile) four times on validation of a GB £2 coin Only
in parallel output mode.

PRODUCT OPERATION, ELECTRICAL.
Validator Connector 1, Machine Interface
The interface to the machine is provided by Connector 1 of the validator.
The functions provided are: Coin outputs A, B, C, D, E, F. The unit will
operate in one of three Coin Output modes:
Fixed Parallel.
Fixed Binary Coded Output (BCO).
Automatic - Selects BCO or Parallel Interfaces.
More detail on these modes are given later.
Validator Connector (2), CF126 / 129 Separator
This connector is used to connect the validator to the separator. No
customer connections are available on this port. ME Series, Active 126
and high security separators are not compatible with this interface and
must not be connected, otherwise damage to the validator may result.
Validator Connector (3), Routing Plug
This connector is used by the customer to control the separator. Once it is
fitted to the product all factory set routing will be overridden and all routing
will be controlled by the routing plug. The extra two pins on this routing
plug allow for additional coin positions, G and H, to be accommodated.
Validator Connector (4), Dynamic Route Inhibit
This is a 9 pin connector which is an input from the machine to the
validator and its function is to divert coin routing. When a specific exit is
full with coins, the host machine sends a signal to the validator which will
direct future coins to an overflow route.

CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 selectors Design Guide
Validator Connector (5), Serial Port (Future use only)
This 10 pin connector, accessible from the bottom of the validator,
provides for a potential serial communication to a service tool. At present
this connector serves no function.
Customers should not connect anything to this connector.
Validator Connector (6), (Future use only)
A 6-way connector used for a MEI® Route Alpha hand held service tool.
At present this connector serves no function.
Customers should not connect anything to this connector.
Rotary Data and 4 Way DIL Teach Switches
In place of the option links used on an ME126 and ME129 a rotary data
switch and a 4-way DIL switch have been provided. These are accessible
through the opening in the reject cover.
The rotary data switch will enable data input to the teach functions i.e.
Token Selection.
The 4-way DIL switch can be used to enable or disable the alarm by using
switch 1 of the DIL switch or various teach functions which are accessed
via switches 2, 3 & 4.
Diagnostic LED
The LED displays a sequence of flash codes to indicate the current
operation of the validator, and can be used for fault diagnosis when
inserting coin or when teaching functions as shown below.
Flash Code Sequence:
Constantly ON Validator power on
1 Flash
Coin accepted / Reject lever pressed
2 Flashes
Coin not recognised and rejected
3 Flashes
Coin rejected by validator 4th sensor
4 Flashes
Coin recognised but not accepted due
to inhibit setting
Pre-Gate Strobes
This is an integral part of the validator which detects obstructions around
the accept gate. If an obstruction is detected then coin acceptance is
inhibited.
Post-Gate Strobes
The strobes are used for added security to the validator. These detect
coins which enter the validator using the wrong direction e.g. from the
bottom of the validator upwards. If this movement is detected the alarm
will sound.

To commence any changes firstly the power should be removed, the
required settings made on the rotary switch, the DIL switch settings are
set and then the unit is powered up again. At this point the LED will start
flashing. Returning the DIL switches to either all OFF or all ON will commit
the changes to non-volatile memory.
Tests should then be conducted to confirm that the changes are
satisfactory, including the relevant flash sequences of the LED, as
described later.
If a teach mode is entered inadvertently then either switch off power or
just leave for 30 seconds (when the LED will stop flashing), otherwise a
teach function may be set that was not intended.

PRODUCT INTERFACES
Introduction
The standard interfaces available on CashFlow® 126/129 validators are
Parallel and Binary Coded Output (B.C.O.). The validator is supplied in
Automatic Mode which senses the type of interface selected by the host
machine via pin 8 (Output Mode Select) of the machine interface
connector. The product can be taught to ignore the state of this line by
changing the machine interface type as above.
Parallel Mode
This type of interface is a standard 6 coin parallel output interface as used
in the ME126/129 (Dual Polarity).
For a GB profile the coin outputs are activated as follows:

The coin outputs for A and C can be combined ( e.g. A + C, B, D, E, F ) to
give compatibility with 5 coin ME126B1 validators. This option is set by
programming the validator. The coin outputs are factory defined but can
be modified via an MEI service tool, e.g. MEI® Service Alpha.
If an alarm condition occurs all coin outputs will be activated
simultaneously for >600ms.

CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 selectors Design Guide
This will only operate when in parallel mode. This factory set option will
pulse the GB 50p coin output (of a GB profile) four times on validation of a
GB £2 coin. This option can be disabled using the Service Alpha.
Coin validation Inhibits A, B, C, D, E, F
To inhibit coin acceptance the CashFlow® validator offers six individual
inhibit inputs.
These inhibits operate for each mode as detailed in the following text.
Parallel Output mode inhibits
The channels that activate the associated coin output will be inhibited

Coin Output Common Line
This line allows for operation with positive or negative common systems.
The interface self-configures by sensing the output common voltage
supplied by the machine on the coin output common line, (pin 2 for a 15
way machine interface connector, or pin 3 for a 17 way connector).
All potentials are relative to the 0 volt return line to the machine. pin 11 for
a 15 way connector and pin 12 for a 17 way machine interface connector.
Negative common operation is selected when pin 2 output common is 0
volts or negative with respect to pin 11.
Positive common is selected when pin 2 is more positive than +7 volts
with respect to pin 11.
Binary Coded Output ( BCO )
Defined by the validator coin output map. When in BCO mode coin output
A is permanently set active to indicate that the BCO feature is available.
Coin output A will have a high impedance (approx. 1M Ohm to 0v) if coin
output common is allowed to float. If an alarm condition occurs coin
outputs B, D, E and F will be activated.

CashFlow® 126/129 separators provide control over the exit path taken by
a validated coin. This is referred to as routing and is accomplished by
inserting wire links into a 22 way routing plug which is inserted into
connector 3 of the validator.
NOTE: Fitting a routing plug to the validator will overide all factory routing
settings as long as more than one link is fitted between a coin output and
data pin on this connector.

When a routing plug is connected the routes will be set up as designated
by the plug links and routing plug outputs.
Where two or more exit routes are specified for a given coin, the highest
priority will be chosen by the validator unless that exit route is being
inhibited by a low voltage signal on its position
within the dynamic route inhibit connector.

Example 3:This shows how two coins can be routed to the
same exit. In this example coins F and D both
are routed to exit C. By linking pin 20 to pin 5
and pin 18 to pin 6 using diode links (the anode
of the diode should be connected to the coin
pin).
Where a default route is required, teaching the
default route will alleviate the need to use too
many diodes.

Connector 4, Dynamic Route Inhibit
This direct input from the machine to the front reject cover of the validator
is knows as the Dynamic Route Inhibit. The inhibit placed via this
connector indicates that a specific route is full. To Inhibit a route this has
to be grounded (i.e. active low to inhibit a route).

If an exit is required to be inhibited, the alternative route/exit must be of a
lower priority.
For example:If a route inhibit is applied to route 5 ( for the 8 way separator or exit C for
the 4 way separator )then routing can only be diverted to routes 6, 7 or 8
the default route on 8 way separators or exits D,B or A for the 4 way
separator.
If route D is required to be diverted to route C on the 126 product then
route 1 (d) should be used, which can then be diverted to any output.
Connector 5, Serial Interface
Provision has been made for future access to a comprehensive interface
facility, but at the present time this connector serves no function.

Sample multiplexed implementation - Negative Common Strobe
If output common (OPcom) is left floating then it is possible that the output
configuration could change.
When the OPcom is redefined, then, if the output configuration has to
change, then there is a maximum delay of 15us before the coin outputs
will be valid. Before this time the outputs will be indeterminate.
To prevent this happening a resistor should be added to OPcom to define
the level during the multiplexing off period. The value should be large
enough so as not to interfere with the normal interplexing operation. In this
case the maximum delay between Opcom and coin outputs is 1us.
NOTE: Should an alarm situation be detected, all outputs in parallel mode
will go true. Any multiplexing device must be capable of sinking or
sourcing sufficient current (i.e. 6 x single output current) to keep the
output common voltage within the maximum or minimum specification for
that configuration.

Binary Coded Output (BCO)
BCO mode is indicated by the A output being permanently active. This
indicator can take up to 100 milliseconds to be established from power
up.
In order to ensure reliable operation of the machine the state of this output
should be regularly polled (as the coin validator could be reconfigured
without the power being removed).
As there are often long machine interface leads involved in coin
mechanism interfaces, it is recommended that the coin outputs should be
de-bounced in software to reduce the effect of glitches.

Flammability
All major plastic parts will be moulded in materials with a flammability
rating of 94 V-2 / IEC 707 FV2 or better. Some small parts are moulded in
materials with a flammability rating of 94 HB / IEC 707 FH2.
Power Supply Input Protection
Overcurrent protection is not included in the product and must be
provided as part of the machine.
Recommended fuse rating at the rated supply of 12V is:
3A Slow blow EN60127
Other protection methods may be used providing their over current
characteristics remain within the overall operating characteristics of the
above fuse.
Mechanical Parts
The product will not contain mechanically moving parts, or sharp edges,
which can prevent a hazard in normal use.
Coin Sizes
CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 will be able to validate and route
coins within the following range:
Circular coins, in the range 15mm to 31.5 mm in diameter.
Circular coins, in the range 1.1mm to 3.2mm in thickness.
Faceted coins within the relevant coinsets will also be handled.
Damaged, bent or very distorted coins may not be validated.
Coin Acceptance Rate
The acceptor will validate coins at up to 3 coins per second, when linearly
separated i.e. >330 ms apart. After a coin has been rejected, no further
coins will be accepted for a period of 0.5 seconds. Should a further coin
be entered during this period, the reject period will be reinitiated.
Fraud Performance
Dual post gate strobes are fitted to give protection against COAS and
Strimmer type frauds. A pre-gate strobe is fitted for protection against
“Spoon”fraud.
Provision has been made on the PCB for a COAS detector. If the input is
seen to go active, the alarm will be sounded.
Where machines do not recognise an all outputs ON as an alarm
indication the alarm should be disabled by switching option switch 1 to
OFF, otherwise false credit may be given in the event of a fraud attack.
